Paul and Christopher from Coinor, giving a talk about open source integration with Apache

A perfect match as they gave a run down of a real life use-case for a bank, where they are using the Apache ActiveMQ, CXF, Camel, and ServiceMix/Karaf for their needs. They gave an introduction to the products, and scratched the surface a bit on each product.

Then my talk succeeded, where I focused on Apache Camel, and gave a talk with a twist of humor. After 25 minutes of slides, we went practical and did live demos, and coding. I got myself into enjoying this, as it helps people see things fall into pieces. I have accompanying slides with highlights of the source code so its easier for everyone to see; as well for people viewing the slides afterwards.

In the demos we have a bit fun with the new twitter and web-socket example I previously blogged about. And with the powers from Fuse IDE we can do runtime introspection into the applications, and see performance statistics as they occur in-real-time.

As well we updated the route within restarting the JVM. Also Fuse IDE allows us to see the DSL in both Java code, but also with EIP diagrams which really helps people better understand this.

We also gave a little rundown of a Groovy example which allows you to do quick and dirty prototyping from a single .groovy file, without any Maven or other build tools etc.

And lastly we covered how you can create a new Camel project from scratch. For example using the Maven archetype tooling, and/or the Fuse IDE which also can create new projects, fully from within the IDE.

The talk was well received, and the room was packed. I have to give a warm thank you to the organizers, and the sponsors who make this conference possible. Good work and good luck with the conferences in the future.

At the airport I took in my last breathe of Berliner experience at the Berliner Currywurst cafeteria, which is an old used train wagon, located at the D-terminal.

The only WW2 memorial I'm aware of in Berlin is in Treptower Park. The picture you took is of the Holocaust memorial. Granted, the Holocaust happened mostly during WW2, but these columns are certainly not commemorating soldiers or victims of warfare.
